Specifically, HistoriCorps exists to:
Save historic buildings
Teach students and volunteers traditional building skills
Advance the use of green technologies on historic buildings
Encourage volunteerism on public lands
The summer 2011 projects will restore/rehabilitate multiple historic log buildings that were originally used as ranger stations, guard stations, cow camps, and miner cabins. The buildings are all remotely located within the National Forest and National Parks of the Mountain West while most are accessible by high clearance vehicles some require a hike to access the sites.
